This video was posted to YouTube last year from the National Robotics Week channel. Its fun to watch Colin Angle teardown and breifly explain how the Roomba works. His parting words are good advice for burgeoning makers and engineers: “Instead of throwing something out, try takeing it apart.”

iRobot CEO Colin Angle believes that one of the best ways to learn how something works is by taking it apart. In honor of National Robotics Week, Mr. Angle dismantles a Roomba robot vacuum to demonstrate that its not “magic” that makes a Roomba tick, but great engineering.
